Original artwork description:

This modern collage creates a fascinating juxtaposition between the real and the imagined worlds. It features two women, both smoking, with one depicted in a realistic style and the other rendered in a style reminiscent of Henri Matisse. The realistic woman, dressed in a vibrant floral dress, exudes an air of elegance and contemplation as she enjoys a moment with her coffee and cigarette. In contrast, the Matisse-inspired woman, painted in bold, expressive brushstrokes and vivid colors, mirrors the pose of the realistic woman but exists in a dreamlike, abstract realm.

-------------------
A wonderful unique gift for fans of Matisse.
Size 100 x 70 cm
✈ VERY QUALITY RELIABLE PACKING.
Base - canvas on a stretcher (the canvas is stretched on a wooden base, the artwork can be hung on the wall using the hanger at the back)

-------------------
Artist statement

The artist seems to explore the intersection of reality and fantasy, suggesting that our imaginations and dreams are as integral to our lives as our real-world experiences. The coexistence of these two figures in one painting underscores the idea that we are constantly navigating between our actual lives and our internal, imaginative worlds.
